Rentlar@lemmy.world 1 year agoMaking an “ouch” device or basic heater is something I could do.
Even a battery I could make a simple alumium air battery cell. Or lemon battery. But I’d be viewed like a sorcerer asking for foreign ingredients like salt, aluminum and zinc.

Depends on how far back and where you went. Whoever made the Baghdad Battery probably wouldn’t even be impressed.
